About the Fund
The Women’s Voices Fund was established in November, 2005, to help support programming at Women & Children First, one of the last remaining feminist bookstores in the United States. The Women’s Voices Fund ensures that events fostering discussion of feminist issues and culture, and nurturing children’s delight in books will continue to play a vital role in Chicago’s intellectual, literary, and political life. The Fund also makes possible internal support for staff such as trainings, retreats, and mission meetings.
WVF Mission
The Women’s Voices Fund, a project of Women & Children First Bookstore and a grantee of the Crossroads Fund, raises money to help sustain and develop an ongoing program series focused on women’s lives, ideas, and work. Women & Children First, a unique resource in the Chicago community and the only venue to offer regular programming with such a focus, has provided the sole financial support for this series for over 25 years. Outside support through the Women’s Voices Fund is crucial to guaranteeing that a wide and diverse range of marginalized voices and the best of children’s literature continue to be heard.
